Steady on there Liam. Keep off the grumpy pills. It's a valid suggestion. Gparted can be installed onto a running live cd (as can any other app if you have enough ram to hold it) and then the disk can be partitioned at will. This is assuming it's not already installed on the Live CD. > You did not suggest that he boot the LiveCD and run Parted from there, > which would have been rather more use.

You click each drive in turn and the one with the partition type NTFS is likely to be the one. In addition he has (as I understand) a C: with Windows installed and an empty (formatted NTFS) D:. In gparted the C: drive will show up as being partially full up whereas the D: will be empty.
